In Ha, no, Lilian, staring at the people in front of her. This is her stage. This is her world. Wherever she is, she will always be a classy villain. The devil. So...became a kind-hearted protagonist? What a joke! She rejects the role, and without warning, her soul transmigrates into the protagonist's body. __________ EXCERPT : Hyun Jae kept his head looking around. In Ha, who saw her manager's unusual behavior, frowned. "Oppa, what are you doing? Are there paparazzi?" In Ha followed Hyun Jae's sight. It was quite cloudy and no one was around. Finally Hyun Jae turned his back, one hand covering a bit his mouth, and the other hand telling In Ha to come closer. In Ha leaned over. "You, I don't know what relationship you have with that man, but I have to warn you. That man is crazy! He's worse than the paparazzi! Scarier than sasaeng fans! You have to be careful, Seo In Ha!" In Ha looked at Hyun Jae and shook her head. "Now to me, you look more crazy." Hyun Jae sent her a death glare. "Hmp! Whatever if you don't believe me! Get down there! Just know yourself when something happens! Hmp! In Ha got out of the car and looked at her manager's car, which was getting away. She looked up at the sky. Raindrops began to fall. Hyun Jae's words earlier annoyed her a little. As soon as she turned around, that man was there. Standing not far from her. *sasaeng : obsessive* __________ *the original cover is not mine

The day my brother, Chester Rodney, came to the orphanage to take me home, my boyfriend Dominic Huxley looked at me coldly and said, "If you choose to acknowledge your birth family, we're over." I knew he had his pride—he could never accept the difference in our social standing. So, for him, I turned my back on the family I had yearned for my whole life. In the decades that followed, I toiled without complaint, saving every cent to help him rise to success. By the time I was not yet fifty, overwork had worn me down. Lying on my deathbed, my breathing shallow and weak, I watched Dominic on television. He was now an acclaimed scientist, just awarded the nation's highest research honor. Tears welled in his eyes as he thanked another woman. "All these years," he said, "I never felt worthy of Alicia. But now, maybe I can use this award as the prologue to a love I've owed her for decades." The "Alicia" he spoke of was the woman mistakenly switched with me at birth—the false heiress the Rodney family raised as their own. The camera zoomed out. Alicia Rodney stood radiant, graceful, and perfectly preserved by years of luxury, blushing as she accepted the trophy. "I waited for you for decades," she said sweetly, "but marriage is still something I'll need to ask my brother about." Chester, who had long taken over the family, looked at her with an indulgent tenderness tinged with something unspoken. "I was adopted by our uncle back then for one reason—to protect Alicia. Making the only princess of the Rodney family happy has always been my life's mission." Only then did I realize—everything I thought I had chosen freely, every sacrifice I made without regret, was nothing but a trap, carefully woven by two men, all for Alicia. The betrayal pierced my heart. I died without peace. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day Chester came to take me home from the orphanage. I glanced past the two men eyeing me with subtle disdain. Without hesitation, I stepped into the car. "Take me home," I said. This time, I'd send whoever stole my life back to the gutter they slithered from.

Pelaku pembunuhan itu adalah Lucas Zander Maxime, bos mafia dingin dan berkuasa dari keluarga paling ditakuti, The Obsidian Crown. Dalam dunia Lucas, satu aturan tak pernah dilanggar: saksi harus dihilangkan. Namun, aturan itu runtuh ketika Lucas teringat permintaan terakhir ayahnya yang sekarat—melindungi seorang wanita bernama Azalea, tanpa alasan dan tanpa penjelasan, hanya peringatan bahwa jika Azalea mati, semuanya akan hancur. Maka alih-alih membunuhnya, Lucas memilih menyandera Azalea, mengawasinya dari dekat, dan diam-diam melindunginya. Keputusan ini sekaligus ia manfaatkan untuk menolak perjodohan yang telah diatur keluarganya dengan Seraphina Caldwell, pewaris keluarga mafia ternama The Crimson Veil.

Lucas baru menyadari kebenaran itu setelah ayahnya meninggal, memahami bahwa perintah melindungi Azalea adalah amanat terakhir yang krusial. Seiring waktu, tugas perlindungan berubah menjadi ikatan terlarang yang dipenuhi hasrat, ketakutan, dan pengkhianatan.

Di tengah kekerasan dan rahasia kelam, Azalea harus memilih: melarikan diri dari takdir, atau menerima kebenaran tentang dirinya dan pria berbahaya yang berdiri di sisinya.
